Qian Renxue's Regret

In the backyard of the Crown Prince's Mansion, within a spacious training ground.

Su Ze's hair had turned white, and platinum white lightning crackled all over his body.

Guarded by the lightning, he floated in mid-air.

He was like the legendary Thunder God.

Su Ze looked down condescendingly at Qian Renxue below, his majestic voice ringing out, "I am Heavenly Wrath, the sharp sword hanging over the heads of all mortals."

The moment his voice fell, furious lightning struck down violently.

It collided fiercely with Qian Renxue, who held a holy sword.

As the lightning and Qian Renxue collided, she was sent flying back more than ten steps.

Feeling the pain from her body, Qian Renxue's expression was astonished.

Her martial soul was the God-Bestowed Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Archangel.

Although Qian Renxue usually didn't deliberately train her body due to her need to maintain her disguise, the strength of her physical body far surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King.

Yet, just now, when she came into contact with Su Ze's lightning, she actually felt an overwhelming sense of being unable to resist.

Qian Renxue looked at the long tunnel left behind by her being sent flying, then looked at Su Ze in the sky, who resembled the Thunder God.

The fighting spirit in her heart surged once more.

As the top genius on the Douluo Continent, the possessor of a God-Bestowed Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue possessed her own pride.

She was a genius with innate level twenty Soul Power, destined to unify the Douluo Continent in the future.

How could she be defeated by a youth ten years her junior?

Fueled by her fighting spirit, Qian Renxue no longer cared about whether her martial soul would be exposed. She began to get serious.

"First Soul Skill: Holy Charge."

The holy sword in her hand erupted with dazzling golden light.

Under the radiance of the holy light, Qian Renxue appeared like an angel. Her figure turned into afterimages, instantly appearing in mid-air.

Raising the holy sword imbued with Holy Fire high, she left streaks of sword shadows in the air and slashed down fiercely at Su Ze.

Facing the oncoming divine sword, Su Ze's eyes, filled with golden lightning, showed no fear. As he raised his right hand.

The majestic voice sounded again.

"Only the most awe-inspiring thunder can shatter the heavy darkness."

Instantly, the Crown Prince's Mansion, which had been clear moments ago, was covered in dark clouds.

A thick lightning pillar descended from the dark clouds, colliding instantly with Qian Renxue's long sword.

Under the collision of these two powerful forces.

The ground of the Crown Prince's Mansion shattered inch by inch, and gravel flew backward like wood shavings.

This included Qian Renxue, illuminated by the Holy Light.

Wrapped in holy light, Qian Renxue landed on the ground in a sorry state. Her delicate jade hands, having touched the lightning, had turned into charred flesh.

Qian Renxue looked at her charred palm, then at Su Ze, who was looking down at her from the sky condescendingly.

That majestic gaze, that calm posture.

It was as if fighting her was not even worth mentioning.

This feeling of being looked down upon made Qian Renxue's expression extremely ugly.

As a genius, her pride made it impossible for her to accept defeat to a boy ten years younger than herself.

Moreover, it was in such a condescending manner.

With this thought, Qian Renxue completely abandoned the idea of holding back.

She was going to get serious.

The moment Qian Renxue made up her mind, illusory wings unfurled behind her.

A holy radiance bloomed from her body.

The divine beam, like a meteor falling from the sky, reached Su Ze in an instant.

Sensing the holy radiance, a smile appeared on Su Ze's face.

That's more like it!

If you're going to fight, go all out!

He wanted to face a Six-Winged Archangel in her full power.

He wanted to see the power of the legendary God-Bestowed Martial Soul.

Facing the incoming meteor shower of attacks, Su Ze's figure flashed, leaving an afterimage in his original spot.

The first skill, Gale Rush, is activated.

Qian Renxue, flapping her wings, floated in the air, her eyes constantly searching through the gaps in the holy light.

She wanted to find Su Ze's figure.

Then, in the next moment, Qian Renxue heard a majestic voice sound behind her.

"Glorious worldly people, do you know the warning bell has sounded its long cry amidst the raging thunder?"

The instant she heard the voice, Qian Renxue's expression changed drastically.

The long sword in her hand instantly swept behind her.

It was too late.

The moment Qian Renxue turned, furious lightning directly struck the long sword from her hand.

Su Ze, guarded by lightning and appearing like the Thunder God, spoke the final words of the battle.

"Shatter the Darkness with Thunder!"

Instantly, dark clouds surged, and one lightning pillar after another, guided by Su Ze, continuously bombarded Qian Renxue.

The powerful lightning directly shattered all of Qian Renxue's defenses.

On the ground of the Crown Prince's Mansion, Qian Renxue's body heavily impacted the ground. Her beautiful face was covered in dust, and bright blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

At the same time, her gorgeous clothes were almost torn to shreds by the lightning.

Su Ze had no interest in Qian Renxue's body. He spoke to her in a flat tone, condescendingly.

"You lost!"

Qian Renxue, lying on the ground, struggled to get up.

Her beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Su Ze in the sky.

She looked at the youth guarded by lightning.

A sense of defeat surged from the bottom of Qian Renxue's heart.

It also made Qian Renxue re-recognize the power of this youth named Su Ze.

And at this moment, a golden figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

As this figure appeared, the lightning around Su Ze slowly dissipated.

The ultimate move, Thunderous Force, had ended.

The dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight once again enveloped the Crown Prince's Mansion.

Su Ze looked at Snake Lance Douluo in the distance, tore off his shirt, which had been ripped by lightning, and then spoke.

"Long time no see, Senior Snake Lance."

Snake Lance Douluo, who was handing his clothes to Qian Renxue, heard this and turned to look at Su Ze in the distance.

Seeing Su Ze unharmed, Snake Lance Douluo's eyes were filled with emotion.

The first time he saw Su Ze, he had thought that his young master, a genius in his own right, couldn't compare to Su Ze among those of the same age.

Looking at him now, his initial judgment had been too conservative.

He could say that if they were the same age.

His young master would not be worthy of fighting this young Su Ze.

Thinking of this, Snake Lance Douluo said with emotion in his voice.

"It's been a long time, and my cultivation is still stagnant."

"And the intelligent child of the past has grown to this extent."

"Su Ze, is it!"

"Truly, heroes emerge from the young! It seems we old bones will soon be leaving the continent."

Snake Lance Douluo looked at Su Ze before him, feeling for the first time that he was old.

Hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words and the emotion in his tone.

Su Ze smiled calmly and cupped his fists.

"Miss Qian Renxue, our duel is over."

"I have other matters to attend to, I need to find Senior Dugu!"

"Please give my regards to the Crown Prince for me then."

With that, Su Ze turned and left.

Defeating Qian Renxue this time made Su Ze understand his own strength.

He had also made quite a name for himself in front of Qian Renxue.

Given Qian Renxue's proud personality in the original story, she would definitely remember him defeating her.

So it was better to leave early.

Qian Renxue, having put on her clothes, watched Su Ze's retreating back. A trace of unwillingness flashed across her stunning face as she shouted.

"Su Ze, right? I lost this time."

"But it won't be long before I catch up."

"Just you wait."

Facing Qian Renxue's shouts from behind, Su Ze's footsteps didn't falter. He replied calmly.

"Okay, I'll wait!"

Right after Su Ze left.

Qian Renxue, wrapped in her long coat, stood up. The paralyzing sensation from the lightning still lingered on her body.

It required Snake Lance Douluo's support just for her to stand.

Qian Renxue looked at the destroyed giant pit on the ground, a mix of contemplation and unwillingness flashing across her beautiful face.

The moment she was defeated by Su Ze, Qian Renxue suddenly regretted wasting so much time on political affairs over the years.

Otherwise, with her talent, how could she have lost to Su Ze so easily?

After all, Su Ze was just a kid in his teens.

She was almost a generation older than him.

However, this regret was quickly suppressed by Qian Renxue.

On one hand, the time had already passed, and thinking about it was meaningless.

On the other hand, as a genius with Innate Soul Power Level Twenty and a God-Bestowed Martial Soul.

Qian Renxue believed in her talent.

She still had confidence that her current setback was only temporary.

She would definitely catch up in the future.

Snake Lance Douluo, standing beside her, spoke at the opportune moment.

"Young Master, there's no need to be too discouraged. Your God-Bestowed Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Archangel, cannot yet be fully displayed."

"If you used its full power, you would have won this Soul Duel."

Hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words, Qian Renxue shook her head.

"A loss is a loss. There's no 'full power.' Besides, I still had the advantage of age."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue glanced again in the direction Su Ze had left.

Su Ze's figure, like that of the Thunder God, reappeared in her mind.

Thinking of that figure, Qian Renxue felt some regret. She should have bid higher at the auction years ago.

However, it wasn't too late to understand Su Ze's value as a Genius now.

Qian Renxue silently made a resolution in her heart.

Her future self would not only defeat Su Ze.

But also make a Genius like Su Ze completely submit to her.

Only then could she wash away today's humiliation.

Recalling Su Ze's fondness for beautiful women, and then thinking of his stunned appearance upon seeing her.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered with thought.

Perhaps she could use this to recruit him next.

On the other side, after leaving the Crown Prince's Mansion, Su Ze did not immediately return to Heaven Dou Royal City.

Instead, he headed towards the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

Walking on the road, Su Ze recalled the recent battle, still feeling some regret.

Qian Renxue had reservations during their fight because she had to maintain her disguise.

Her Six-Winged Archangel spirit had not been fully displayed.

It could only be said that it was a pity.

However, it was only a pity. Even if Qian Renxue had shown her full power, Su Ze would not have been afraid.

He also hadn't gone all out this time. The Twin Dragon Kings' soul bones, the Storm Dragon King's boost, and the Soul Ring enhancements.

He hadn't revealed any of them.

It could be said that in terms of hiding, Su Ze had hidden even more.

"Qian Renxue's meaning... she must be very unwilling."

"She will probably continue to challenge me in the future."

"This way, I'll have a very good sparring partner next."

With that thought, Su Ze's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

The National Soul Master Elite Competition was about to begin, and he needed combat experience.

Qian Renxue was a good candidate.

With a potential opponent chosen, Su Ze felt he needed to use resources to improve himself.

The Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce was a merchant guild invested in by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

It collected treasures from all over the world.

There were many precious items inside.

As a key investment target of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce would notify Su Ze immediately if they acquired any treasures.

However, in previous years, Su Ze had basically not taken a liking to anything.

The reason this time that it managed to catch Su Ze's attention.

Was mainly because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had recently acquired a peculiar stone.

It was said to be imbued with the power of the Thunder God and could summon the lightning of heaven and earth.

Upon hearing of the Thunder God's power, Su Ze immediately prepared to come and take a look.

Su Ze had just walked into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The next moment, a charming and voluptuous greeter in uniform approached him.

"Young Master Su, you've arrived."

"You must be here for that stone. The Sect Master specifically instructed us to keep it for you."

As she spoke, the greeter's tone was fawning.

More importantly, the other party's cultivation had already reached the Soul Elder realm.

It was clear that with such strength and appearance, this person was at least a minor leader in the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce on a normal day.

However, for Su Ze, who had just met Qian Renxue, this level of test was nothing.

He nodded without looking away.

"Thank you for Sect Master Ning's concern!"

"Please take me to see it."

Su Ze had no intention of refusing the investment from the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce.

After all, investments are things that, even if you become enemies in the future, the other party can't take them back.

So why not take it if it's free.

What's more, the Thunder God's power is an unmissable opportunity for Su Ze, who is dedicated to achieving Godhood.

"Young Master Su, the Sect Master often mentions you to our Chamber of Commerce."

"Then we must entertain you well and say that you are a forever friend of our Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce."

"Young Master Su, please follow me!"

The welcoming lady showed no dissatisfaction with Su Ze's directness.

Led by the welcoming lady, Su Ze passed through a corridor and arrived inside a secret chamber.

This secret chamber was very spacious, and a stone with a golden color flickering with lightning was placed on a display stand.

"Young Master Su, our Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce brought this stone out from a special magnetic field."

"According to the appraisal of Sword Douluo, it is imbued with the power of a God."

"Based on the constantly flashing lightning, we guess it is the power of the Thunder God."

Without the welcoming lady's introduction, Su Ze had already made his judgment.

This stone was stained with the Thunder God's blood. As proof, the Storm Dragon King within his body showed slight signs of movement.

"A stone stained with the Thunder God's blood? What a pleasant surprise."

A hint of excitement flashed in Su Ze's eyes. If he absorbed this stone.

The evolution progress of his Storm Dragon King's other forms would advance again.

Thinking of this, Su Ze quickly stepped forward and reached out to grasp the purple stone emitting lightning.

Feeling the Thunder God Power transmitted from his hand, Su Ze nodded.

"Please thank Uncle Ning for me. I'll take this."

Since he had chosen to accept the investment, Su Ze naturally wouldn't be polite.

As soon as Su Ze finished speaking, the welcoming lady's face broke into a smile.

He knew the reason. After all, with what he took away.

it represented a deeper bond between him and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At the same time, this lady's task was considered complete.

And if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to encounter any trouble in the future, Su Ze, having grown stronger, would at least have to make one move.
